Pig Stomach Soup

Pig Stomach Soup

Stall is Now Relocated at Old Market Food Court  (Location Here)  

This stall sell noodles with various roast meat, and on the Side they have Pig Stomach Soup, which according to some websites, is suppose to have some health benefits,  to stimulate your appetite, nourish the kidney and reduce water retention as it contains protein that will strengthen the body \. Spleen and stomach.      

Well this soup is not so commonly found at street stalls so I decided to have one,  Its was Peppery and Smooth,  I do like to consume innards, so the taste is fine with me.  Good Enough for me to come back for more. 

"Island Glade" Nasi Lemak

Island Glades Nasi Lemak

Imagine my surprise when I walk into the Bukit Mas Kopi Tiam, Butterworth and noticed Packets of Island Glades Nasi Lemak at the tables. 

I have heard of this "Brand" of Nasi Lemak before, as reputed as on of the best around, at the Island and around Island Glades.  So out of curiosity I tried a packet and I was hook,  Flavorful, Fragrant and with a punch, with quality it comes with it price which is 50% higher then the standard around here. 

 

I found out later that the “Manufacturer” has now move to the Mainland and have 8 “Stalls” around.  They have stop selling on the Island.  So the Islanders Loss is the Mainlanders Gain.   Oh yes if you want better grab the packets you want,  don’t say will come back later,  it will be gone.  Better then Chipmore. 

I understand they have a stall that sell for lunch somewhere near where I stay,  this stall you have a choice of toppings instead to the standard toppings, I will be on the watch out for this

Superb Koey Teow Th'ng

Superb Koey Teow Thng @ Sri Bandar Market (Heng Choon Thean)

I usually don’t have Koey Teow Thng early in the morning,  need some thing spicy and hot to wake me up. 

It was one of those days where all my regular makan stalls at the Market were not open, or have not open yet, its  6.15am …   this Koey Teow Thng stall was the only thing open that was not 100% carbo.  So hubson choice.   (there were a few economy noodles shop already open) 

Verdict:  Superb, One of the best I ever had, soup was delicious, and I do think they use the Ipoh Hor fun which is imported in daily.  Definitely will be back for more.

Location :  Refer to my Sri Bandar Post for Map,  Here.  Stall is close to the “Back” near road. 

Back to Ah Chong Canteen for some seafood

 

Back to Ah Chong Canteen (Beach Front, Non Aircon Seafood @ Pantai Bersih Butterworth)

We drop by at Ah Chong Canteen (In Waze as Restaurant Nelayan Ah Chong, our “only” seafood place at Pantai Bersih, Butterworth, for some crabs. 

We had crabs done 2 style, With Curry Leafs as well as Baked, as well as Marmite Chicken, Clayport Seafood, Lala, and Kailan, and Chicken Satay for me.  ( I don’t enjoy Seafood)    Total damage around RM250/- 

What I really like about this place is,

1)      Simple Unpretentious set up,  May be a bit “rough” for others

2)      The Beautiful view,  best view just before sunset. 

3)      The Unpretentious and Simple food, not overly decorated.

AKS Restaurant, Old China Town, Alor Setar Kedah

AKS Restaurant, Old China Town, Alor Setar

My last visit to this non aircon “restaurant” (in fact to Alor Setar) was like 15 – 20 years ago.  It was one of our regular makan place (the actual atmosphere is like a Kopi Tiam)    

When we walk in, it was like being going back in time.  Every thing is the same, from the tables and chairs, the traditional kitchen to the English speaking (and good English at that) order taker. 

We skip my regular order of fish curry, and ordered the Steam Golden Promfret, Medium portion of My usual plate Mix Roast Meats, and Sambal Belachan Kang Kong.

Verdict :  Just like it was years back,  definitely the best Kangkong Belachan I had this past 10 years

Total cost was RM73, which is  Meal was for 3 persons. 

pricy for a kopi tiam style restaurant, portion was ample.

Location :  See Map Attached,  Alor Setar Town,  Corner of K371 Persiaran Sultan Abdul Hamid and Jalan Tengku Yaakob,  Near Dataran Tanjung Chali, and Tun Dr Mahathir Birth House. 

Aeon Alma Sushi

Aeon Alma- Self Serve Sushi @ Ground Floor

We were at Aeon Alma, Bukit Mertajam, when we decided to have some Sushi at the Self-service counter there. 

The Self Serve counter is loaded with various types of Sushi, and well as many other types of Japanese food.  Frankly we were a bit loss, and just grab items that looks familiar to us.  

Personally I had the Salmon Sushi. 

My Opinion: Not being use to Japanese Food, I would not know how Japanese it is and how its suppose to taste, but it was ok with my taste buds.

Seaview Food Court, Chai Leng Park

Seaview Food Court, Chai Leng Park

Not one of my favourite place to have a meal initially, due to the difficulty in getting a parking place.  However, this has improved as they have manage to get a car park at the community field next to the Chai Leng Park Petronas Station. 

Seaview Food Court, is usually jam packed, (in the evenings) when I usually visit.  On this visit, we had some of the harder to find food in the area,  Namely Deep Fried Pork Intestine porridge,  Lamb Soup Indian style, Roast Pork Noodles.  

There are many stalls,  it will take some time to go through all of them.
